The scoresheet shows a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the eighth inning by Prince Fielder. For those of us there, and those watching on TV, it was a moment for the record books. By driving in Felipe Lopez, Fielder set a new club record for runs batted in in a season with 127. Opposing manager Cecil Cooper, the prior holder of the record, had a unique vantage point for the event from the Astros' dugout.
